"Hey, brother, this ocean forest is boundless. Even if you fly in the air, it will take several days to leave here."
"This is the best food I brought with me on this trip. Normally I wouldn't bear to eat it. Today, in order to repay my brother for saving his life, I took it all out. Brother, please don't be polite!" Looking at Xing Jue's somewhat speechless look,
, the young man explained with a smile.
"Ha, this dear fellow is really out of touch. To me, these are delicacies in the world."
Xing Jue smiled, without any politeness, grabbed the biggest leg of lamb and started to eat it. The greasy mouthful made him very satisfied.
"Come, brother, have a drink." Seeing Xing Jue eating so happily, the man was also very happy. He quickly raised the wine jar and poured wine into Xing Jue's bowl.
Xing Jue was really hungry. He wiped away all the food and wine on the table. The man barely ate, but the more Xing Jue was like this, the happier he became.
Because Xing Jue saved him when so many people refused to save him, he was grateful to Xing Jue from the bottom of his heart and wanted to repay Xing Jue.
While chatting, Xing Jue also learned that this man's name was Jiang Tian, and he was about the same age as Xing Jue. He was not of any race, but a person with no identity or background, but who was unwilling to remain unknown.
He has a profession here, that is, as a mercenary.
Mercenaries are no strangers to Xingjue. This profession existed in the Tianwu Continent. It was nothing more than a job for others. However, its masters were constantly changing. Whoever paid more money would work for him.
.
"Brother Jiang, do you know which direction we need to go to get to the Sanctuary Alliance Mansion?" After a moment of familiarity, Xing Jue asked.
"Brother Xingjue, are you also planning to join the Sanctuary Alliance?" Upon hearing the words Sanctuary Alliance, Jiang Tian's eyes suddenly glowed with gold and he was extremely excited.
"I do have this intention, but I'm just here for the first time and don't know much about this place." Xing Jue nodded unequivocally.
"Haha, then you have really found the right person. I know the Sanctuary League Mansion very well, because I am also preparing to participate in the entrance examination of the Sanctuary League Mansion this year." Jiang Tian patted his chest and said quite proudly.
"Is the entrance examination once a year?"
"That's right, brother, don't you know? The Sanctuary Alliance only recruits one group of disciples every year, and the assessment only lasts for ten days."
"Right now, there is less than a month until the time to recruit disciples this year. Because of this, many people will come here in order to save the assessment fee to join the Holy Alliance."
"Assessment fee? Do you need something like this to join the Holy Alliance?" Xing Jue was quite surprised. He had never heard Hun Ming mention this.
"This is a new rule established in recent decades. It is to prevent too many people with poor qualifications from making trouble. Therefore, regardless of whether you can pass the assessment, you must first pay the assessment fee."
"Furthermore, regardless of whether the assessment is passed or not, the assessment fee is non-refundable. This can be regarded as an overlord clause. However, the temptation of the Sanctuary Alliance Mansion is too great, and many people are still willing to spend a lot of money to give it a try."
"So what is the assessment fee?" Xing Jue didn't know how the assessment fee was calculated.
"Ten thousand fifth-level jelly grass!"
"puff"
Hearing this, every drop of the liquor that had just entered his stomach spurted out.
Fifth-level fairy grass? Ten thousand? What does this mean? This is far beyond Xing Jue's imagination.
What is the fifth-level fairy grass? It is a priceless treasure that can attract the top experts in the soul source world.
However, the assessment fee for the Sanctuary Alliance Mansion was actually 10,000 fifth-level fairy grass. This really made Xingjue speechless. This was an astronomical figure for Xingjue.
"Hey, 10,000 fifth-level jelly grass is not even a piece of skin for those powerful tribesmen."
"But for those of us with no background, it is an astronomical figure. To be honest, brother, I have been in this Western Saint World for ten years."
"In order to save up for assessment fees, I do mercenary missions all year round, but even so, I'm still a little behind." After seeing Xing Jue's reaction, Jiang Tian was not surprised. Instead, he thought of his own tragic experience.
Ten years here? This made Xing Jue take a breath. Jiang Tian's current age is in his thirties, which means that he came here when he was in his twenties and spent ten years just for assessment.
Fei, this is really quite miserable.
However, Xingjue is a little worried now, because "" is also an astronomical number.
But Xing Jue did not despair, because he still held a high-grade venerable weapon in his hand.
This is the ruler refined by Dao Kunlun. It was originally used by a man from the Dao clan. After being killed by the half-step artifact, it fell into the hands of Xing Jue.
A high-grade venerable weapon is no small matter. At least based on initial impression, Xing Jue has not found that anyone here has used a venerable weapon. Maybe that high-grade venerable weapon can be exchanged for some fifth-level celestial grass.
"Brother Xingjue, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not." Suddenly, Jiang Tian seemed to hesitate.
"Brother Jiang Tian, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Xing Jue could feel as he spoke that Jiang Tian had a good heart, so he didn't mind making friends with him.
"Someone opened the space domain gate in this vast ocean forest before. That person should be you, brother Xingjue, right?"
"To be honest with Brother Jiang, it's Xing Jue." Xing Jue admired Jiang Tian's insight, but he still didn't hide it.
"Brother Xingjue, I wonder where you come from? You must know that no one has opened the reception array in ten thousand years!"
After verifying his thoughts, Jiang Tian was still a little surprised, and his gaze towards Xing Jue became even more intense, even with a hint of awe.
After hearing Jiang Tian's words, Xing Jue finally understood why so many people surrounded him when he appeared. It turned out that it had unintentionally caused quite a stir.
"Oh, if brother Xingjue doesn't want to talk, just pretend that I haven't asked. Don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter a secret for you."
However, before Xing Jue could answer, Jiang Tian seemed to realize that he was a bit talkative and hurriedly explained with a smile.
As for Xing Jue, he smiled and said nothing. In fact, even if he answered, he would not tell Jiang Tian the truth.
Because the influence of the restricted area of the Holy Land is too great and the current strength is insufficient, Xing Jue does not want to expose his identity as a Soul Eater tribe member yet.
"Brother Xingjue, I have to say that you are very lucky. Do you know why tens of thousands of strong men of the younger generation have gathered in this vast forest?" Jiang Tian suddenly said pretending to be mysterious.
"Why?" Xing Jue was also curious.
"Because of a mercenary mission, and the reward for this mercenary mission is a full five thousand fifth-level fairy grass, which is equivalent to half of the assessment fee."
"Five thousand fifth-level jelly grass? What kind of mission is this?"
Xing Jue knew that five thousand jelly grass might be nothing to a race like the Tao clan.
But for people like Jiang Tian who have no background and people like him who come from a declining world, the numbers are astronomical.
Five thousand pieces of fairy grass attracted tens of thousands of Shura warriors to come here, which shows that this number is definitely not a small number even here.
But the higher the interest, the more dangerous it is, so Xing Jue wants to know what kind of task can get so much reward.
"Capture a girl with the body of an evil spirit!!"
"What did you say? A girl with the body of an evil spirit?"
Xing Jue was immediately shocked. When it came to the body of evil spirits, the first thing Xing Jue thought of was Xue Mei, who was one of the people Xing Jue cared about the most nowadays.
When Xingjue Xuemei Hunming and the other three were hit by the heavy rain and meteors, Xingjue was also hit, but his strength was only blocked, but nothing serious happened.
So the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a high possibility that both Hun Ming and Xue Mei would be fine, and if nothing happened, they would probably go to the Western Saint World.
In addition, due to his poor strength, Xing Jue had been in a daze after the space domain door was opened, so that his senses were confused and he couldn't remember the time. He didn't know how long it took him to get here.
Therefore, Xing can never guarantee that if Xue Mei and Hun Ming were safe and sound, they would have arrived here, or whether they would have arrived here one step ahead of him.
But now that he heard the news about Xue Mei, Xing Jue was both happy and surprised. He was happy because of the news about Xue Mei, but he was shocked because of why Xue Mei was wanted.
"Brother, don't be afraid. Although the body of the evil spirit is fierce, that one is just a girl. It is said that her strength is only that of a mid-level Shura Martial Lord."
"Some time ago, he broke into the Baifu, the most powerful force in Wangyang City, and injured the people in the Baifu. That's why the Baifu offered a huge reward for the capture of the evil spirit."
"In recent times, people have discovered traces of the evil spirit body here one after another and been attacked by her."
"That's why more and more people are coming here to capture the girl with the evil spirit body." Seeing Xing Jue's mood change, Jiang Tian thought Xing Jue was scared, so he hurriedly explained in detail
said.
"Baifu? What is the strength of Baifu?" Xing Jue was more concerned about the power of Baifu at this moment, because he needed to understand what kind of existence Xue Mei had provoked.
"The Bai Mansion is only a small family at the bottom of the entire Western Saint World, but in this area he is a dominant presence."
"At least we can't provoke him, because the eldest son of the Bai Mansion is now an intermediate disciple of the Holy Domain Alliance Mansion, and a junior Shura War Spirit."
"Intermediate disciple? Shura War Spirit?" Xing Jue expressed his confusion again.
"Oh, brother Xingjue, there are four types of disciples in the Holy Domain Alliance, namely junior disciples, intermediate disciples, senior disciples, and saint-level disciples."
"Junior disciples are the disciples who have just stepped into the Holy Domain. As for the intermediate disciples, they already have a certain status in the Holy Domain."
"The senior disciples are even more impressive. For example, in the Holy Domain branch of the Western Holy World, the senior disciples here are the darlings of the elders."
"But it's very difficult to become a senior disciple because the test is very abnormal."
"I heard that only Shura War Spirits can pass the test for intermediate disciples, and the test for high-level disciples requires Shura War Spirits." Jiang Tian explained in detail the issue of levels among the disciples of the Holy Domain.
